The relationship between how words are pro-

nounced and how they are spelled is often unpre-

dictable. In addition, many of us don’t know when

words should be capitalized. In this program, you’ll

learn simple rules that can instantly improve your

spelling and capitalization, which words are “excep-

tions,” and how to distinguish between often-

confused words!

yourself – when you’re done, you’ll have a notebook

on English grammar that you can refer back to again

and again.

many times as you need to!
